The Senate then adjourned until Monday
morning.
EoUsE-After reports by number Ct
committees the House went into Committee
of the Whole and Mr.. T. b. Stuart called up
House bill 81 creating the county of Chill
colt.
Mr.. Dean moved that the committee re-
commend that this bill be made the special
order for "Wednesday next.
Mr.. Stuart urged immediate action and
moved that section be adopted.
Mr.. Skiif thought friends of the measure
should furnish the members with township
maps showing lines of the proposed county.
Mr.. Dean further urged postponement.
Mr.. Stuart pressed his motion for action
at once.
Mr.. Wells-"The only question is, do the
people there want a new county? Can they
sustain county government? l am in
formed that they have property valuation
of about tS50.0OO.
Mr.. Dean-"It is question of principle
and not as TO lines. II proposition should
come before Congress to divide the State of
Colorado, Mr.. Wells would be one OF the
first to kick. | would like to hear from the
people. l understand that the Representa-
tive from Weld, now in the chair, favors
postponement.n
Mr.. Wells-''If the gentlemen from Weld
desires to be heard he can call another gen.
tleman to the chair and take thelfioor."
Mr.. Hamitt called Mr.. Skiff to the chair
and said: II did not desire to talk at this
time. Twill, however, do SO. As regards
the motion to defer am not particularly M
terested as to whether we act mower in the
future. Both Senator Freeman and myself
have been requested to fix day that all
parties interested may be here and may be
heard. So far as the right to divide Weld
county is concerned there Is no question In
my mind. The county at present has an

through the north, in letter to relative
here says;
I'VE are now at Saratoga after having
visited Long Branch, Elberon, Asbury Park
and Long Beach and having passed through
aud briefly seen the principal cities of Della
care, New Jersey and New York. II made
us sad to see in towns and cities with not
one tenth the advantages possessed by al
exaudria, tho evidences of thrift and indus
try which are 50 needful at home. And all
this is brought about by railroads and manu-
factories, largely established by the people
themselves, which have resulted in giving
to all their people employment. Oh how
long will our citizens continue TO wait for
people from outside to start them for Us I?
Another thing l observed was the splendid
roads in every direction, and upon enquiry
the answer | received was that to good
roads are the farmers indebted for their
prosperity Why will not the farmers OF
our State see that good rosds mean enhance
ment of their lands and products and in in.
crease in their value. This and tryingto es.
;atsh manufactures are subjects of more
Importance to us than politics, ami are mat
tiers that every one having the real interest
of our city and State at fcart should ma
